Net Income (Loss)
The net income exhibited significant volatility over the five-year period. Starting from a modest profit of 46 million USD in 2014, it dramatically increased to 1,725 million USD in 2015 and reached a peak of 7,266 million USD in 2016. However, this was followed by a sharp decline to a loss of 1,016 million USD in 2017, before recovering to a profit of 2,530 million USD in 2018. This pattern indicates a highly fluctuating profitability trend with a substantial peak and subsequent dip.
Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment
This component showed negative values in most years except for 2017, where it abruptly shifted to a positive 978 million USD. Prior to that, the adjustments were negative and ranged from -323 million USD in 2014 to -431 million USD in 2015 and -185 million USD in 2016. In 2018, the value returned to negative territory at -286 million USD. This suggests varying exposure and sensitivity to foreign exchange rate changes, with 2017 being a notable outlier.
Unrealized Gains (Losses) on Investments, Net
The unrealized gains and losses on investments showed a trend predominantly towards negative values, apart from a positive 71 million USD in 2014. From 2015 through 2018, the values were all negative, ranging from -131 million USD to -480 million USD, with losses slightly mitigating towards the end of the period. This indicates a generally unfavorable investment portfolio valuation over these years.
Unrealized Gains (Losses) on Hedging Activities, Net
This item fluctuated between gains and losses without a clear directional trend. It started with a gain of 267 million USD in 2014, fell to a loss of -71 million USD in 2015, slightly rebounded to a small gain in 2016, dropped further to a loss of -94 million USD in 2017, before recovering to a gain of 98 million USD in 2018. This variability points to inconsistent outcomes from hedging strategies during the period.
Other Comprehensive Income (Loss), Net Tax
The other comprehensive income or loss after tax reflected a mostly negative trend, with significant losses of -633 million USD and -650 million USD in 2015 and 2016 respectively. A positive spike occurred in 2017 with an 841 million USD gain, followed by a return to a loss of -219 million USD in 2018. This measure appears highly sensitive to certain events or accounting adjustments within the periods analyzed.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The comprehensive income, which aggregates net income and other comprehensive income components, showed notable fluctuation across the years. Beginning with a modest 61 million USD in 2014, it climbed to 1,092 million USD in 2015 and peaked in 2016 at 6,616 million USD. A significant reversal occurred in 2017 with a loss of 175 million USD, followed by a moderate recovery to 2,311 million USD in 2018. This mirrors the pattern observed in net income but is moderated by other comprehensive income effects.
